[Intro]
[mono radio voice]
Live and direct
From the edge of the map
Where the dark met the light
And the volume stayed maxed
[Verse 1]
Clock in
Same hoodie, same mission
Came from the cut
Now I’m cuttin’ through the friction
Backpack floors
Cold tile, late shift
Dreams in the drawer
Heart beatin’ like a makeshift
Mama said “work”
Street said “fight”
I learned to pray with one eye open at night
Hope in my chest
Fear in my jaw
One foot in the clouds
One stuck to the wall
[Chorus]
Dark meets light, that’s my anthem (yeah)
Bruised up knuckles, hands still dancin’
Turn that pain into sparks, watch ’em fly
I was built in the shadows just to shine
Dark meets light, I don’t break, I bend
Turn my worst days right into my best friends
Every scar on my name lookin’ bright
I was raised in the dark just to carry this light
[Verse 2]
Used to count coins
Just to split one meal
Now I count blessings
Every loss turned real
Homies in the ground
Others lost in the smoke
I keep they names in my mouth
Like a promise I spoke
Feet on the cracks
But I step with grace
Still hear the sirens
Still pick up pace
But I got that fire
Right under my skin
Even when I fall
I land ready to win
[Chorus]
Dark meets light, that’s my anthem (hey)
Bruised up knuckles, hands still dancin’
Turn that pain into sparks, watch ’em fly
I was built in the shadows just to shine
Dark meets light, I don’t break, I bend
Turn my worst days right into my best friends
Every scar on my name lookin’ bright
I was raised in the dark just to carry this light
[Bridge]
Hands up high for the ones still climbin’ (woah)
Head down low when the pressure keep risin’
If you stand in the storm, you’re already blessed
’Cause the sun feel better when you came from the depths
[Chorus]
Dark meets light, that’s my anthem
Bruised up knuckles, hands still dancin’
Turn that pain into sparks, watch ’em fly
I was built in the shadows just to shine
Dark meets light, I don’t break, I bend
Turn my worst days right into my best friends
Every scar on my name lookin’ bright
I was raised in the dark just to carry this light
